Re: SimCity

said by silbaco:

I personally would never buy an always online game. What happens when EA decides to no longer support those game servers because SimCity 10 gets released? You no longer have a game. You are basically renting access to play the game.

Exactly! All of these online only games will just cease to function when the company stops supporting them.

Know how people into 'retro' games still play stuff from 20+ years ago? How many of these games do you think will still be playable even a decade from now?

I recently purchased a new PC, and have been looking at games from 10+ years ago. I dunno why, but the older games seem more appealing then the new ones. I guess because back then they went for story and not eye candy. Todays games seem all about eye candy and little story. Mainly because the players seem to want/demand online play with their friends.
